Journey with Jesus Day 2

Today was another success ... still a few setbacks but still successful! I did have too much sugar again today. My snacks were sugary. It "sounds" healthy to have a yogurt parfait or a granola bar or trail mix ... at least it sounds healthy to me. But really, all of those things have tons of sugar in them! It stinks. Every time I think I'm making a healthier choice, I find out it's really unhealthy for me. Lame. I hope it's at least healthier than the big bag of potato chips or the dozen cookies I really wanna eat. Haha! ... I try not to get too discouraged though. I AM making better choices overall, and lasting change is a PROCESS! I am not a cold turkey kind of person .... I have to be eased into things. So I'll cut the sugar out a little at a time. I definitely count today as a good day! :)

Breakfast - uhh, I kinda slept through that. Haha! I had the day off work. :)
Lunch - 3/4 of a bean burrito and mixed veggies
Snack - 2/3 cup of berry yogurt with granola and mixed berries
Dinner - PB&J, broccoli, cheese stick, and dill pickles
Snack - cheese stick, apple, granola bar, and trail mix (I had an early dinner ...)
And I drank 64+ ounces of water again! :)

I also worked out a lot today ... 30 minutes of swimming at L.A. Fitness and a 40-minute walk in the park. Yay! :)

My Jesus Calling was all about thankfulness today. "Punctuating" my day with thankfulness. Sounds like a plan, huh? What are YOU thankful for today? ... I am thankful for my loving and supportive family. And I am thankful that they are all safe. I was thinking tonight about how thankful I am that Darrell and I are living with my parents because life is so short, and I get to see my parents everyday now. What a blessing!

About Me :)

Well, I am pretty much one of the biggest goofballs I know. I love Jesus, and I love people. I'm addicted to laughing, sweet tea, going to church, my mamas' Bible study group, loving my beautiful girlies, and time with my amazing husband, Darrell! I am a recovering self-condemner who is learning how to continually embrace practice instead of perfection and thankfulness instead of worry.
